Sendra Lakshmi Tara v. The State Of Telangana
HON'BLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI CRIMINAL PETITION No.4420 of 2019 O R D E R :
This Criminal Petition, under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is filed by the petitioner, who is A.2, for grant of anticipatory bail in the event of her arrest in Crime No.103 of 2019 of Central Crime Station, Detective Department, Hyderabad, Hyderabad District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 r/w. Section 34 of IPC.
The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner/A.2 along with other accused cheated the defacto complainant stating that they will arrange a contract in Infosys Company for installing a Coffee Shop and Food Courts and made him to deposit huge amount of money. However, they neither arranged the contract nor returned the said amount to the complainant and they have cheated many others in similar manner. Basing on the complaint lodged by the complainant, Crime No.103 of 2019 has been registered for the aforesaid offences against the petitioner/A.2 and others. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner/A.2 and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent State. Perused the material on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is innocent of the alleged offences and she is no way concerned with the alleged offences and the alleged
transaction took place between the complainant and one G. Srinivasulu by way of Account transfer only. It is contended that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the above crime and she has a small school going kid to look after. It is also contended that the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions imposed by this Court, including assisting the investigating agency for her release on anticipatory bail in the event of her arrest in the above crime.
On the other hand, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the relief sought in the above petition.
A perusal of the complaint reveals that there are specific allegations made against the petitioner that she is running a Beauty Parlour and she has introduced the other accused G. Srinivasulu as her business partner and assured the complainant to arrange for a contract in Infosys Company and made him to deposit huge amount of money. Thus, the petitioner is actively involved in the alleged transaction between the complainant and other accused. In view of the specific allegations levelled against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the Court below concerned within ten days from today and moves an application for regular bail, after giving prior notice to the Public Prosecutor concerned, the said application may be considered in accordance with law.
With the above observations, this Criminal Petition is dismissed.
As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
